If you are like me, I've always been fascinated by the martial arts...but just didn't have the time to find out...

From the Dojo of Charles Orchard, Sensei - Total Ryu

Subject: Martial Arts for Busy People

Let's face it, making a living and having a life, sometimes get in each other's way. With not-quite-enough time and definitely not enough freedom, having the life you want today can be tough.  Very tough. 

Are you ready to bring some balance to your life?

"I took some martial arts classes in college, but got distracted... For 20 years, I talked about getting back into it, dreaming of a black belt. Finally, at 43, I found Total Ryu"

- Chris Johnson

We both know that time is what we make of it. And long ago, something grabbed your attention, something that's still there waiting for you. Perhaps you saw something like this in the martial arts:

• Power over fear
• Physical mastery
• Calm under pressure, or
• The ability to remain above the hustle and bustle of life...

Now is a great time to start the process...

You may have thought that doing martial arts was cool but required way too much time. You may have thought that you'd just do it next year. But the reality is that at Total Ryu we make the martial arts a meaningful PART of your life. You can find the balance and poise you've always wanted and we're here to show you how.

A Jedi, perhaps not, but maybe something better...

While there are many fantasies about the martial arts, at Total Ryu we give you something much better. Many martial arts styles of today have become commercialized and focused primarily on sport, Total Ryu's focus is different. Our mission is to offer you the most practical and ideal assertive lifestyle system available.

When my daughter started Kindergarten, I started looking for a martial arts class we could take together. Every school I asked said there was no such thing as "family" or "father-daughter" classes. After three years of looking we discovered Total Ryu. With youth & adult classes, a black belt fast track, AND family classes, Total Ryu is exactly what we were looking for!

I believe martial arts training is for everyone - which is why our students range from age five and up. There is no age limit. The benefits include discipline, coordination, self-confidence and concentration. A major milestone for all our students is the achievement of Black Belt, which adults can typically achieve in three years. We offer a Black Belt Fast Track class one Saturday each month for students looking to learn at a faster pace.

A Perfect Fit - Designed for Busy Adults

While part of the attraction to the martial arts is what we call "bushido" or the way of the warrior, the essence of our approach is to incrementally take on the daily battles we all face. Fear, doubt, disbelief in ourselves, agression, and victimization. Those "battles" require the warrior within to be prepared and equipped.

If you've struggled with how best to handle these common life concerns...this is your answer! You have a choice of TWO options so that I can show you personally how this is going to increase the quality of your life. It's not just talk either, you're going to see first-hand, how and what to do, so you can win every day. Now more than ever, so many people need what we have to offer. Let me show you how to get it!

What's My First Step?

Simple. I want to empower you to make the decision that's best for you!

And of course I want to make that easy to do. So...in the next month I've got two times set aside for us to either talk on the phone, or better yet, for you to drop by and see a class.

Either way, the result is the same: your first step is easy and you get to see first hand the process of developing the warrior within. All you need to do, is simply put in your first name and email That's it. You'll be confirmed for a time with me personally. In fact, I'll also send you a great report on the tradition and history of bowing. What it symbolizes and what it's not. This will really open your eyes to "bushido" - the way of the warrior. AND in addition, I'll send you a coupon for a $5 first class.

I know that whatever you decide to do after our meeting, that I will have helped you improve in even a small way. That alone is quite rewarding for me, because when your your life improves, you win, your family wins, and your life is better...it's really a butterfly effect that can lead to a much better tomorrow.

So be sure to reserve your spot today. You'll be glad you did!

I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Best Regards,

Charles Orchard

Ps. If you make the effort to reserve a spot and don't think our school is just what you're looking for, I'll be glad to point you in the right direction.
